Did you manage to get your saw out before the rootplate dropped over?

Did you manage to get your saw out before the rootplate dropped over?

 

Honest answer is no. The nose got stuck and went a bit quicker than i thought.

 

The first one i did when the camera wasn't watching was a similar size but the saw stayed on the 'safe side'. End of the day chain was cutting a little crooked and it came too close to my step.

Forwarder will pick them up. Probably need rocking on though. If they are too big to lift then they'll get ripped in half and taken to the mill as half rounds. Much easier than 3' diameter logs to work with.
